Me too.  I had to uninstall TurboTax after I had downloaded the Minnesota software and reload it.  It wouldn't let me download Minnesota again for free.  I talked to 3 representatives over 3 hours before 1 finally had the answer of how to do it.  But I had to pay for the Minnesota software which used the $10 credit that came with it as well as a $37.98 charge to my credit card.    The rep told me to file for a refund which I did 2 weeks ago and have still heard nothing.   TurboTax seems to do something like this every year and I'm at the point of never using them again.    

If your spouse passed away in 2023 or earlier you will need to create a new account with a new User ID since you can no longer file as Married.   If your spouse passed away in 2024 then you can file the 2024 tax return as Married Filing Jointly.

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state.  This will take you back to the 2024 online tax return. Click on File on the left side of the online program screen.

Thank you very much for your kind explanation.   I e-filed my tax return on April 1, 2025, and it has already been accepted. However, I believe I now need to amend the return. Regarding Form 8889, my initial tax return, I changed line 9 to reflect $6,300, and as a result, the HSA deduction on line 13 became $0. (??)   Would it be possible for me to repay the $3,000 to the HSA administrator at this point? I did not have $3,000 in qualified medical expenses for 2024, so I’m unsure how to proceed in this situation.

Did you e-file your state tax return and was it accepted? Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".   After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.   Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.   To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product. If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...

@achap423 , if the gift did not rest in a foreign account that your husband or you own, then  FATCA is not triggered.  Note FATCA like  FBAR is  on individual accounts unless  of course  own multiple accounts at the same  facility that add up to the threshold  ( related accounts ).   Is there more I can do for you ?
